Happy Sliders Sunday.
After the parade through town, around the mill and into the park, tractors either park or head out to the fields to work. Of course, t hey have farmers on them, too.
Something that may exist elsewhere, but I have only observed in the rural southern United States is the use of old farm equipment used as roadside lawn ornaments, planters , etc, etc, This old tractor is being used as a roadside flag holder.
Here are a few tractors that we don't often see - Cockshutt, Co-op and Economy.

A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)
In the height of pollinator season, expansive meadows of clover, nettle, ragwort, hawksbeard, cranesbill, chicory, vetch, spiderwort, wild blackberries, wood violets, wood sorrel, Japanese rose, other wildflowers, sedges, red fescue grass, etc. were mowed down ... in other words, pollinators' food was tossed out.

Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

On the hot days last week we took very early walks to avoid the heat as much as possible.
I had been watching the sky while we had been walking and thinking I need a foreground , when we came upon a break in the fence we climbed over the gate to shoot this scene, the tractor tracks lead the way to the lone tree and the colourful foliage.
A nice way to start the day then back to the cottage to rustle up some breakfast.
Pulling indoors at the 2009 Fall Harvest Days Antique Engine + Tractor show, Arden, North Carolina, October 24, 2009.
This building has since been enclosed fully and the floor paved with concrete, so the pulling has moved outdoors to a new track on site.

More work on the farm, this time collecting the grass to be taken away to become silage for the winter months. Watching these two tractors and drivers working together with perfect timing was fascinating. One is picking up the cut grass and depositing it into the moving trailer via the straw blower. As one trailer filled up another was on hand, attached to another tractor to take its place so there was no slowing down of the process. I can think of worse ways to spend a spring evening.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
A few nice Farmall Tractors. Hope to get to go to Montgomery County Old Threshers Fair tomorrow.
